They knew that they were to pay interest and in' time pay it all back. - The United States would .expect to do the same. Not counting these loans, the war cost the United States about $25,000,- 1t really ‘would mean, more than $35,000,000,000 for we would have been without that money for many, many months and would have lost the interest besides. . Here is an- other important thing for you to re- member. . The senate has again killed the peace treaty, with the world club plan, and it is ‘now up to President Wilson-as-to what will be done. The greatest danger. of .our joining the world' club has passed but there still is.a chunce that ;the idea, at least, will haye to be fought. If, with Eng- land .having six votes to our one in the world club, she should decide that she would not pay back this money, we would lmvp little.to say, That 2 | shows-« you again -what a dangerous ¥l “Yes, es a;e connected h onr /treasury. = He biys that be- ble ¢ nnfi,i,_o Mi;e 0 pay b4 ‘?sm,psp uu do ti ¢ rse,- lles ang is, > "that” it we ng, thnt at they d-them e says, ese ;nati_.onsg,,might findorder fo; keep Ensland a lot more land v ] thall: she had before the war?” asked Jac! indeed,’’;s nnu#ered Uncle Ted. “It has been said. that Great Britain has gained nearly. 1,000,000 square miles of land by the war.

All of these land gains means that Great Britain has more land to mine, more and upon which to plant things and of course, that- means more money in the end for she will have lots of things to sell to the rest of the world that she never had before.” ‘“Then why: should she ask the . |United States to enncel the money if |loaned. her?”. asked Ruth.

'The Food Controller Kaving remov- od certain restrictions, the time-hon- ored custom of elting buns marked with a cross on Good Friday has been resumed and many h\lndfods of thous- ands of youngsters proceeded. to ruin their digestions in the guod old ntyle all'over Great Britain.: Industrial, commerelnl and omeh.l Britain broke off diplomatic relations with work yesterday and settled down to enjoy the Easter holidays. Today is a “bank’” or national holiday, to- moirow i an- unofficial holiday for banks only by Royal proclamation in which the great majority of work- ers participate, and Monday is an- other official national “‘‘bank holi- day.” . So the average worker ceases work from Thursday evenlnz until Tuesday morning. The religious side of the Ea.ster les. g tival was not neglected, for this morning the customary church ser- vices were largely attended; but the holiday spirit was everywhere. Many important football -matches drew huge crowds both morning and after- noon, and,despite the ‘popular out- cry against the high cost of living, financial troubles seem to have been temporarily .forgot, for the railway ‘companies report record bookings of holiday-makers to the country and | seaside.

On.a number of farms where wells were dug to a depth of twenty-five feet the sound of rushing water could be distinctly heard. Fur- ther digging disclosed a rush of water|, that carried tools away. The White- mouth is noted: for excellent wells and many springs.
